I love the winter. It's my favorite season of the year. But one thing I hate is having cold hands. I've tried using various gloves, but till this day none of them keep my hands as cozy as HotHands' Hand Warmers.

Right now can get a 50-Pack of HotHands Hand Warmers for just $31 at Amazon. That comes out to about $0.60 per pair. This is my second winter using them and I can't recommend them enough. In addition to a perfect rating, they've also received the "Amazon's Choice" badge.

I've been using HotHands Hand Warmers all winter long and they do an excellent job of keeping my hands warm. You can hold them, place them in your coat pocket, or slip them into your gloves. This pack includes 50 pairs, which comes out to roughly $0.60 per pair.

They're dead simple to use. Just open the pack and shake them for a few seconds and they'll instantly heat up. Alternatively, you can just expose them to the cold and the air will activate them. They provide up to 18 hours of warmth, although I've found they can last up to a full 24 hours.

On a recent cold spell in New York, I ditched my gloves and clenched onto my hand warmers to keep warm. After my 30-minute walk, my hands were completely warm. That said, walking with your hands clenched isn't always ideal, so I also like to place them inside my coat pocket and just slip my hands in when I need relief from the cold. You can also place them inside your gloves, but I've found that they can get too hot under those circumstances.

HotHands also sells foot warmers and lap warmers. I've yet to use those, but so far I'm very pleased with my hand warmers. So much so that I recently purchased the 50-pack box which I share with my wife.
